Hello, I am a poor unpriv'd user on a shared freebsd system which has no installed= browser. I'd like to install mozilla but cannot secure root or even pseudo privs to= do it using a package. Is there any way to just install it in my local= home dir? I've also tried biulding from source, after building gtk and= glib, but this fails due to other dependencies. Normally I develop under solaris and linux, for which i can get executables= that seem to run in their own dir, so i'm less familiar with freebsd= (although pkg_add sounds a bit like pkgadd under solaris). Any pointers/help appreciated! Opera just doesn't cut the mustard, I= really don't want to use any MSFT products, and googling revealed few= clues. THanks in advance, Will Kessler Email me at: kessler@willkessler.com See my web site at : http://www.willkessler.com PS I run vnc to get X up and this starts fine.
